Why English Language Education in Hong Kong?

 * 1) English acts as lingua franca for international communication in the global world
 * 2) Hong Kong plays a vital role in being the //window of China// to the international world
 * 3)  English language education contributes to the nurturing of students as  global citizens who can contribute to the world

My past experience in curriculum development of English Language Education:

 * 1) Using Task-based Learning Approach with a //balanced curriculum// of the development of 4 skills, i.e. //listening, speaking, reading and writing//
 * 2) Integration of GE and reading workshops with a focus on the development of 5 reading strategies, i.e. //storytelling, reading aloud, shared reading, guided reading and independent reading//
 * 3) Implementation of enrichment programmes to stretch the students with high potentials in English
 * 4) Integrated curricula, i.e. using English as a medium of instruction in General Studies subject
 * 5) Integrated use of ICT as a strategy for English learning and teaching, e.g. using //Knowledge Forum (KF)// for //process writing// (Topics include: My Favourite Film, World Problems and Amazing Places); Using //Google Docs// for// shared writing //
